²³ By your messengers
    you have ridiculed the Lord.
And you have said,^(A)
    “With my many chariots^(B)
I have ascended the heights of the mountains,
    the utmost heights of Lebanon.
I have cut down^(C) its tallest cedars,
    the choicest of its junipers.
I have reached its remotest parts,
    the finest of its forests.

¹⁷ There the birds^(A) make their nests;
    the stork has its home in the junipers.
